The Exchange
Attend the Chamber's semi-annual, mini-tradeshow (occurring in the spring and fall) where our members showcase their products and services in a marketplace setting. Featuring more than 100 table-top exhibits and hundreds of attendees, this event provides over 600 participants with the chance to generate leads and develop powerful collaborative relationships.
It is key that you continue to build relationships and generate qualified leads to stay ahead of your competition, and more importantly, to achieve your company's sales goals. The Exchange offers numerous ways to meet people and gain the attention of the decision makers who make things happen.
If you only attend one networking event this year, attend The Exchange.
Business After Business
Each month, you have the opportunity to join over 200 members who gather after work for Business After Business, networking like it's done nowhere else. Held at some of the city's most popular venues, our Business After Business provides you with the opportunity to exchange ideas, business cards and sales leads. In addition to networking in an innovative location, you can sponsor a table and display your products and services for valuable added exposure.
Business Leaders' Breakfast Series
Once a quarter, join hundreds of members who gather to hear civic and business leaders address timely issues - all designed exclusively for the Chicagoland business community to network with other business leaders. Topics highlighted in this series include the economic forecast, best practices, business opportunities, change management and innovation with such leaders as Robert Doll (President and Chief Investment Officer, Merrill Lynch Investment Managers), Steven Good (Chairman & CEO, Sheldon Good & Company), Larry Levy (Founder and Chairman, Levy Restaurants), Michael Moskow (President, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago), Nick Scheele (President & COO, Ford Motor Company) and Gordon Segal (Founder and CEO, Crate & Barrel.)
Member Business Development Breakfast
New to the Chamber - or to your company? Then you are invited to participate in the Chamber's monthly Member Business Development Breakfast. It's a great way to get a complete overview of the Chamber's programs, services and initiatives. You'll also get a chance to meet the Chamber staff. Networking begins at 7:45 am. At 8:00 am the program begins with introductions from all participants. At the end of the program, you'll walk away with a copy of the list of attendees and a great working knowledge of how the Chamber can help you and your business.
With an average of 80 business professionals attending each Member Business Development Breakfast, this is a prime networking opportunity. So bring plenty of business cards with you to the event. You'll learn first hand why we refer to the Chamber as your connection to profit and growth.
